Dxxxxx</div> <bR> <div> Working with Professionals like yourselves has turned a difficult task of administrating the disposal of Mr. Dxxxxx's Estate into a well organized event.</div> <bR> <div> Your Estate Personal Property Appraisal, needed for the attorney to prepare the State Inheritance Tax forms, was fair, accurate and complete.

That reflects well on the bidding clientele you attract to your sales.</div> <bR> <div> However the most valuable thing Bonham's has given to the process is their fantastic personalities and in depth knowledge of the market.</div> <bR> <div> On behalf of the Estate and the family: Thank you so much for your</div> <div> assistance.
